Chapter 16: Street Fighting

The cloaked man on the opposite side raised his eyelids slightly, and glanced at the contract that Varina had presented.

Soon, he withdrew his gaze and spoke nonchalantly:

"Employers? You're really going to hold yourself up. ”

"Please remember, we only have customers, not employers, after all, we are not the kind of people who run errands for people."

"As for the attitude, heh, I can't get a penny for your money, do you still expect me to lick your boots?"

After refuting Varina a few words, the cloaked man's tone improved a little, and he asked:

"Tell me, what are you doing?"

Varina doesn't have any particular ill feelings towards the Cloaked Man, as long as it doesn't interfere with her business, it's all within her reach.

He hid the trace of apprehension in his heart, and said flatly:

"As I said, I'm not happy with you, so I'm here to cancel the commission."

As soon as the words fell, the cloaked man burst out laughing:

"Hey, that's right, I guessed it was going to be like this."

He looked at Varina again with an inexplicable gaze, "Do you know, someone came to me this afternoon, claiming that the contract was stolen, and you came to cancel the commission in the evening." ”

"So what does this have to do with me?"

Varina pretended not to understand and asked, "You are talking about all this nonsense, is it possible that you are going to break the contract?" ”

"Breaking the contract? Of course not! ”

"We are an honest organization, the most credibility of the kind."

The cloaked man shook his head again and again, and continued:

"You're right, someone's contract has been stolen, and it has nothing to do with you and me. I only recognize the contract, and since it is in your hands, then you are our customer. ”

He made it clear that Varina's status as a customer was recognized, and then began to standardize the process:

"According to Article 3 of the binding clause attached to the contract, the customer has the right to cancel the commission at any time before the contract is completed, so your request will be fulfilled."

He held out his right hand and motioned for Varina to hand over the contract.

After the contract was in hand, the cloaked man looked at it from beginning to end and asked confirmatively:

"The contract was concluded 8 days ago, well, if you cancel at this time, I can only refund two-thirds of your advance payment according to the regulations, is there a problem?"

"Yes!"

Varina tried to bargain: "If it was made 8 days ago, why is the refund 2 days less?" ”

"Rules are rules."

The cloaked man said to death and asked Varina: "If you follow your train of thought, is it still accurate to the hour and minute?" ”

"Well, I accept that."

The cloaked man nodded, staring at Varina, "One last reminder, are you sure you want to cancel the commission?" ”

"Before I confirm it, I would like to ask," Varina asked again, "If it is confirmed, can I receive my refund immediately?" ”

"Of course."

"Then I confirm the cancellation."

The cloaked man nodded, pulled out a special square seal, stamped it onto the contract, and put them away separately.

After this, he looked up again and said to Varina:

"The amount of the prepayment is £250 and the refund is two-thirds, that's ......"

"166 pounds, 13 soles, 4 pence."

Soon, while Varina was still mentally arithmetic, the Cloaked Man reported the exact number earlier.

He rummaged through his wallet, took out a bearer cheque for £150, counted out another £16 in cash, and asked, "Is it okay to use the rest as a service fee?" ”

"Oh no, you're asking for too much."

Varina took out the change in his trouser pocket, counted 7 sul, and handed it to the other party, "Don't look for 4 pence more, count me as I treat you to a glass of Southwell beer." ”

"Miser."

The cloaked man muttered a little unhappily, but pulled out another pound of cash and handed it to Varina.

Varina's face was impassive, and he took over the greatest wealth of his life, in fact, his heart was already happy.

"Anything else?"

The cloaked man saw that Varina was still lingering after receiving the money, so he asked casually.

"I want to ask, what's the name of your organization, is there only one point of contact?" Varina pretended to be distressed, "It's too remote here, it's really not easy to make a trip." ”

"Don't ask if you don't know, I'm doing this for your good."

The cloaked man coldly admonished, and his tone became sharp: "You can go." ”

Varina took it when she saw it, nodded and left.

Coming out of the VIP passage, Varina was reminded by the waiter to return the cloak he was wearing.

He hummed an unknown tune and went out on his way home.

What Varina didn't know was that a small episode occurred when he entered and exited the VIP passage, and everyone who cared about it was watching it.

He became Kirk's preferred target of suspicion.

……

Dock.

The junction of the Dead Eels and the Squirrels' spheres of influence.

The verbal quarrel between the two gangs breaks down, and a street fight is on the verge of breaking out.

Kent, the mad ghost of the Dead Eels, with more than a hundred brothers, broke into his own territory to find trouble—this is the perception and judgment of Eugene, the boss of the Squirrel Gang, about tonight's events.

Kent, the boss of the Dead Eels, was a calm and cunning man most of the time, but he occasionally had crazy ideas that he couldn't understand—like now.

That's why he got the nickname "Mad Kent".

There were more brothers standing behind Eugene, but their weapons were more wooden oars and other tools, and the consequences of the fight were unpredictable.

He tried his best to negotiate one last time:

"Kent, I repeat, I didn't send someone to steal your things!"

"I advise you to be sober, you can see clearly, this is my territory, I have more people! Do you want to kill your brothers? ”

The brethren behind him shouted at the right time to add authority to Eugene's shout.

On the other side, Kent's expression was a little distorted, and the horizontal flesh on his face jumped, already burning with anger.

He didn't believe Eugene's nonsense, he only knew that if he was slapped in the face, he would have to be beaten back!

Otherwise, how can he sit in this boss position?

He also shouted:

"Eugene, you daring to do it!"

"There's nothing to talk about, I'm going to decide on this neighborhood! If you feel sorry for your brother, you can take someone to retreat, and I promise that I will not chase and kill them. ”

The negotiations broke down completely.

The two police officers not far away saw that the situation was not good, and quietly slipped away.

No, to use the rhetoric they used to report back, it should be:

They tried their best to mediate between the two gangs, but eventually Kent became insane, causing the negotiations to break down. They had to hurry back to report the information, hoping to minimize the impact of the gang fight.

The two gangs scuffled together, and soon, the shouts of killing rushed into the sky.

Nearby residents have long locked their doors and windows and hid in their homes when the two sides confronted each other, and at this time, in addition to being a little frightened, they will not be hurt more.

After all, it's not the first time they've experienced this kind of thing.
